Mike Quirke to take a break from management after stepping away from Laois set up

Kerry's Mike Quirke stepped down today from his role as Laois Senior Football Manager with immediate effect.

He made the announcement on the Laois GAA social media channels this afternoon - less than 24 hours after his team's heavy loss to Westmeath.

The Kerry native took over for the 2020 season and Laois preserved their Division 2 status before beating Longford and then losing to Dublin in championship.

The O'Moore men were relegated in this year's Allianz Football League campaign after losing a play-off to Down.

Mike spoke on Terrace Talk and was first asked him about his time with Laois.
